Deadline has reported that Chicago Med, the latest spinoff from Chicago Fire, has cast The Vampire Diaries alumni Torrey DeVitto as a series regular.
The news comes after Laurie Holden, who appeared in the backdoor pilot, departed the series this week due to family matters. But this is not a replacement.
Med is in process of casting three new female characters, one being played by DeVitto. The other characters are a young resident and a charge nurse.
Showrunner Andrew Dettman told TVLine at the Television Critics Association summer press tour, that DeVitto will be playing Dr. Lilly Manning, who is an ER pediatrician and is pregnant.
"When we meet her, she's very pregnant. She's just a really sweet, warm, midwest (woman who) planned it out, studied, worked hard, got everything to where she wanted- the husband and everything going the way it's supposed to be going," Dettman said. "But this is her first child, and it seems to me, at the end of the day, there's a little bit of denial (about) the fact that she's about to undergo an enormous change in her life."
DeVitto has had some other TV roles from The Vampire Diaries to One Tree Hill, Pretty Little Lairs to CSI.
You can catch the premiere of Chicago Med Tuesday, Nov. 17th at 9/8c on NBC.
